Child Status page for parents

We’ve recently added a new feature to DaycareWatilist.com. It allows you to give access to parents to view the status of their child on your waiting list anytime they like. It’s only accessible by unique URL so the information is hidden from public viewing, but it does not require the parents to create an account or login to see the status. The URL will look something like this:

And that unique URL will take them to a page where they can see the current status like this:

How to turn this feature on?

The feature is already on, but parents will only be able to use it if you give them the unique URL. There are two ways to do this.

Method 1

On the edit child page the child’s status URL is near the bottom. You can copy this URL and send it to the parents, who can visit the page whenever they like to see the updated status.

Method 2

The second way to get parents the URL is by using online forms. After the parent fills out the form, they will be provided with the unique URL for their child. You can turn this on in the online forms configuration screen. See below:
